Trump delays war decision with Iran, leaves diplomatic door open
ALBAWABA- In a notable shift, U.S. President Donald Trump announced he will decide within two weeks whether to launch a military intervention against Iran, citing a "strong likelihood" of negotiations soon. Trump emphasized that any decision will weigh three conditions: necessity, avoiding a prolonged Middle East war, and ensuring the strike would eliminate Iran's nuclear program. 'A lot of space has been made for diplomacy,' said a White House spokeswoman, offering a glimmer of hope for de-escalation as European and Iranian officials prepare to meet tomorrow. 🚨 @PressSec shares an important message from President Donald J. Trump: "Based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks." — The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 19, 2025 Trump's latest announcement of a two-week window to decide on war with Iran starkly contradicts his fiery remarks just two days earlier, when he demanded Iran's unconditional surrender within 24 hours and threatened to target Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei personally. Despite the diplomatic tone, tensions remain sky-high. The White House confirmed that Iran could produce a nuclear weapon within weeks if it chooses to. The spokeswoman also praised Israel's military strikes for degrading Iran's infrastructure and leadership. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to the impact of war on his own family, revealing that his son Avner had to cancel his wedding for the second time due to missile threats, and called his wife 'a heroine' for standing by him through years of turmoil. The conflict is widening beyond the battlefield. Iran has declared that Israeli media outlets are now legitimate military targets, warning that Channel 14, described as Netanyahu's 'propaganda arm,' will face missile strikes in the coming days. Israel's Broadcasting Authority confirmed that a forceful response is being prepared following Iran's unprecedented missile attack on the Soroka military hospital.

Around 50 Injured in Iranian Strike on Soroka Hospital - Jordan News
A reported Iranian missile strike on Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva left at least 50 people injured on Thursday, according to medical sources. A spokesperson for Magen David Adom stated that emergency teams "are providing medical treatment and have evacuated two individuals in critical condition to the hospital, in addition to 30 others with minor injuries." He added that additional emergency crews are attending to several other casualties at different locations. اضافة اعلان An Israeli military source reported that "dozens of ballistic missiles" were launched during the Iranian attack. Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed on Thursday that a hospital in the south of the country had been directly hit by a new wave of missile fire from Iran. The ministry posted on X: 'Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva in southern Israel was directly hit. Further details to follow.' A hospital spokesperson confirmed that the building sustained extensive damage in several areas. 'We are currently assessing the damage, including injuries. We urge citizens not to come to the hospital at this time,' he said. Iran launched the barrage of rockets on Thursday morning, marking the seventh day of escalating military conflict between the two sides. Israeli media reported that at least four missiles landed inside Israel following the Iranian strike. Soroka Hospital officials also suspect a hazardous material leak on one of the floors, prompting evacuation of the area. Separately, Tel Aviv police reported that a missile hit a tower, causing damage to nearby buildings in central Tel Aviv. Media outlets said rockets struck four locations: three in the Gush Dan area and one in the south. Reports also indicated a full building collapse at Soroka Hospital and another in Be'er Sheva. According to Israel's Channel 12, one missile struck a building in central Tel Aviv, causing widespread destruction. Yedioth Ahronoth confirmed that the attack on Israel was a dual assault using both missiles and drones. The ongoing exchange of missile fire and threats between Israel and Iran has raised fears of further military escalation. In response, Israel launched a wide-scale attack on Iran early Friday, targeting military and nuclear sites. The Israeli assault reportedly killed senior military leaders and nuclear scientists, claiming it was based on intelligence that Iran's nuclear program was approaching a 'point of no return.' Iran, which denies seeking to develop nuclear weapons, responded with dozens of missiles targeting military facilities inside Israel. Israeli media reported that patients were being evacuated from Soroka Hospital following the damage sustained in the Iranian missile strike.
